Overview of Colon Cancer

Colon cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the lining of the large intestine. Early detection and appropriate treatment significantly improve outcomes.

Surgery remains the primary treatment for colon cancer, especially when the tumor is localized to the colon. During surgery, the cancerous portion of the colon is removed along with nearby lymph nodes to prevent the spread of cancer.
